About Colleen Norris

Colleen Norris is the Owner and Founder of Loving Connections LLC, an educational institute in the Greater Salt Lake Area started in July 2006. At Loving Connections, the main focus has always been creating authentic connection. When the company first started the focus was on the marriage relationship, then it focused on encouraging mothers to discover their authentic self and assist their children to do the same. In 2013, the release of "Just ASK a Child" will help support mothers to focus on the basic needs of every child.

Just Ask A Child-About Their 3 Core Needs

Norris believes that the challenging issue of raising a kid can be made a lot more manageable by focusing on three aspects necessary for a kid's psychological sense of health. These three requirements are that the child has to really feel 1) Adored, 2) Safe, and 3) Understood. Her book, "Just Ask A Child," describes exactly how you, as a parent, can determine these needs and effectively meet every one of them.

Kids long to be adored. They enter earthly life with a strong need to be unconditionally loved and approved for who they are. Unfortunately this honest need for appreciation gets discreetly transmuted during the child-raising process. Youngsters start to feel that they must be dutiful and obedient to earn parental love. They think that their chances of receiving love depends entirely on their behavior. This conditional affection causes a tremendous sense of self-doubt since there is always the possibility that the love they want may be withheld at any moment by a dissatisfied parent.

Children also long to feel safe. They really feel little and frightened by large adults and tough life situations. When parents establish boundaries, they draw rules that allow kids to feel safer. Youngsters begin to know exactly what does not work to be successful in life at home.

Lastly, kids want to be understood. They hope to be recognized for who they are. They don't intend to be treated in precisely the same way as their siblings, but long to be recognized for their very own unique qualities and interests.

The discussion focused on what parents can do to make children feel unconditionally loved, how to draw meaningful boundaries, and how to give children the recognition they need to mature in a healthy way.

When parents neglect these three needs, they create insecure, confused, and rebellious children. The book, "Just Ask A Child," will be a major contribution to dispelling the mystery of good parenting.
